Stimulus is a change discernible by the body (Sherwood 2004) or in my case, a space worm. Certain receptors like touch receptors respond to stimulus weakly or strongly when involved with a different stimulus

helping the child get through this by talking to them, directing then to a more positive activity they just say go play a video game or watch TV.

Different professions can shift the importance of sense from equally distributed to a skewed relationship. A chef would utilize taste and smell over their other senses
